laiid any oftener than he could possibly
avoid, and that ne supposed that Cleve-
land was here on Thursday. AS a mat
ter OF fact, the relations between the
president and Governor Hill were notice
ably pleasant during their presence here.
The president gaye a reception to the
visiting governors of the different states
in his parlor after the parade, which was
over at 2:30. Ii was noticeable that
Cleveland aud Hill stood apart from the
others for soine time, and after the presi-
dent had shaken hands with he other
governors, and they retired, Hill remain
ed, and he and the president chatted and
laughed 1nr a long time.
4 prominent republican of this state
asked n of Gov. Hills stafftbat night,
while they were standing in from OF the
hotel corridor, near the cashiers desk:
How about Hill for PRESIDENT"
.Oh, that was all fI1ed in New York
three days ago. was the answer-s.last
Tuesday night. Hill will not be a cand-
idate, He and his friends will BIS for

1T was also told by the best authority
that the programme that had been
mapped out had been brought about by
the action of the republicans in selecting
EASo 0l6uU III cCSlCbhty VI StdtC, dltu
that the big democrats had decided that
Hill must be lenominated for governor
to ave New York. 1t was decided that
Hill WAS the strongest man the demo-
rats could u for governor in New
York state, and that Cleveland's renom-
nation for president would save New
York for the democrats In 1888. 1t
was also related that GOV. Hill, as an
ambitions man, succumbed to his fate
not without disappointment. Gov. Hill
was reminded that he WINS still q. young
man, and that he was growing steadily
to political popularity, and That by being
reelected governor of New York he
! would be a stronger card for the presi-
dential nomination,ln 1892 than In 1888.
He WIS assured that the friends of Hill
and the friends Of Cleveland would stand
by him to a man for president III 1892.
After this was all understood it left but
little to be said.
1t was naturally understood that Cleve.
land wa to be renominated, and 1t was
openly announced by Hill that he would
be for Cleveland for a second term.

of designing and self-seeking politicians
who have no use for him except to serve
their ends, and will not hesitate to set
him adrift as soon as his splendid talents

regret becomes daily stronger and more
outspoken that he should 10 nave con-

keeping clear Of political Affiliations,
which he can never raise TO his own

his intellect.
A movement has started among his old
